This may well be the final update.
Andy-Hoggie became a very perty chap,then when I checked the food bowl it was untouched.....
I am 99.9% certain he has left(not so much as a goodbye) there is no where I can find where he could be trapped,stuck or hiding and I can't hear him(he was quite a noisy chap) my OH was working in and out of the garage all evening and we think Andy left through the open door.
I take it he wouldn't go and sleeping again(???)
So it looks like Andy is now somewhere in my garden and fingers crossed one day I shall see a line of little hedgepigs trudling along though NOT I hope in the direction of the garage....just incase I'm still leaving some cat biscs out.
